I don't understand anti-vaxxers.

36. I plan to make the medical personnel aware and apologize.

They are allowing people to sit down thankfully. I scoped out the location that I'll most likely go to.

I'm trying to learn some techniques to help with this. One is to be very hydrated, and there are ways to clench muscles to keep the blood flowing to help keep from fainting. I'll take my own bag, along with some wet wipes and an ice pack.

I understand about the dentist. Been there, too. I finally found a fantastic dentist who has made a world of difference for me in THAT department. I wish I could find a medical doctor that would be as compassionate and helpful. The doctor I see right now just seems to think that since it poses no "real" threat physically, that you just deal with it. I don't think she gets the psychological aspect of this.

While I don't think my particular situation poses a medical concern, I do worry as I get older about how this might affect me physically. The last time with the iv situation that I mentioned down post seemed to take a lot longer for me to recover from.

Fear IS a powerful thing. Thanks for understanding.
